Adjustable cable exit angle, high quality build

Fantastic for getting your bag all situated! The low profile connectors, thin and flexible cable, and ability to adjust the exit angle of the cable from the low-profile male ends makes wiring up a breeze. I keep my stereo sources wired to XLR-5 on both ends, and just pop the appropriate cable between. Anyway, awesome cable, all Cable Techniques highly recommended.

Pricey but good

Crazy price cable but looks solid. Using it with rode mic and works perfect. Original rode cable was broken so many times and I decided to try this one. Let’s see how long this one is going to last.
